When Jennifer is trying to save Herb, she sends Les in to talk with Mr. Carlson from 10:45 to 12:15. She has her meeting with Mr. Sherman, in a building very close by, presumably sometime around 11 or 11:30. She then returns to the station. As Les is leaving his meeting with Mr. Carlson, she tells the "super new staple remover" salesman that he can go right in. When Mr. Carlson comes out to ask if there is a meeting scheduled with the "Super New Staple Remover" salesman, she tells Mr. Carlson that he has a meeting scheduled with this man from 4:15 to 6pm. This would indicate that 5 and a half hours passed since the start of the meeting with Les; Jennifer should have indicated the meeting would last from 12:15 to 2.
